Unfortunately, not all people in the world of Solomon Kane are as empathetic as myself and in the first scene of The Beast of Bordeaux, you will find a man running for his life through the streets chased by a mob. They claim he is a werewolf and Solomon must find a way to broker the peace. Or perhaps you believe he is one too?

Yes, the Beast of Bordeaux is another of our stretch goal acts in which we explore the popular trope of werewolves. Of course we don’t want to spoil too much but we do want to entice you a little and so with a new delivery of resin master miniatures pertaining to this act, it felt like the perfect opportunity to give you all a sneak peek.

Beasts of Bordeaux

So, peeling back the black velveteen curtain of our Solomon Kane office, lighting our well furrowed candles and bowing our hats to our chest, today let me take you on a journey to Bordeaux where many beasts roam the countryside. One scene I would like to tell you about today is perhaps my favourite of the Puritan pledge.

What I can reveal is that Solomon meets a herbalist who is proficient in crafting potions and like any good gaming alchemist, needs help in collecting his roots and herbs (he will do it himself but with Solomon’s aid they can cover much larger ground). Now of course, a potion that is useful against werewolves will be much desired here but during this ‘harvesting’ scene, players will also have the freedom to concoct batches of other useful salves and ointments too by preening and collecting from a range of flora based Discovery cards.

The herbalist runs in fear but with courage on his shoulder, Solomon remains calm

Without giving too much away, there is a lovely amount of freedom and elegance in the creation of these potions and when you get to use them in later scenes, it really feels impactful having the gameplay fully referenced and encircled to what came prior. I want to say more but I can feel a strange lump forming in my throat, my palms are sweaty and, what is this… my.. teeth.. are… growing…

Hello everyone, just to let you know that Dale has left the office in a hurry tonight with strange paw prints at his desk. I will use this opportunity to say thanks for reading and I will see you all next week for another what's up Wednesday!
